Miss Carina did not hide the parliament’s movements from Shade:
"There are thirteen seats in total for the great witches in the parliament. I am the seventh seat, and the one who went to Coldwater Port this time is the third seat. You may have heard of her name, Sylvie Aurora. The last time I saw her, she seemed to be
When I went to the beach for vacation last summer. At that time, she was a twelve-ring warlock and a witch of the twelfth level. I don’t know if there has been any new progress throughout the year."
The outsider thought for a long time before he realized what this name meant.
The twenty-nine-year-old Ms. Sivi Avrola is from the ancient Avrola family and is a world-famous shipowner. She inherited the property of her father’s generation in the family, and with her own efforts, she controls the seas from the Old World to the New World.
Some of the trade routes between, on the east and west coasts of the Old World, own almost a third of the shipyards.
This lady is the most legendary female image in the eyes of contemporary people living on the seaside. Even the pirate kings galloping in the eye of the storm cannot compare with her legendary story.
Of course, there are many other rumors about this lady. For example, some of the pirates on the new route are actually funded by the Aurora family. Another example is that the Aurora family can talk to the creatures in the sea, so the probability of something happening to the cargo ship is
Far lower than her peers. Of course, people’s favorite tidbit is that this unmarried lady actually likes women because she never sees men around her.
Thinking about it this way, it seems easy to imagine that the descendants of the Aurora family, which has been famous on the sea for centuries, are witches.
Miss Carina continued:
"It is very convenient for her to handle matters on the west coast of the Old World. The Aurora family itself is a family of ring wizards inherited from the previous era (note). It is said that in the fifth era, they were closely related to the primitive tribes and alien species in the ocean.
The forces are involved. Although this ancient family line has declined, various strange ring magicians will always be born every few generations, and Sylvie Aurora is one of them. He holds the secrets of the family and the power of the parliament.
, Apart from the Speaker of the Parliament, the lady with thirteen rings, Xiwei is probably the strongest witch."
It seems that the Witch Council has also put a lot of effort into getting the second candidate.
"Although she is in Coldwater Port and we are in Tobesk, I have to remind you, Shade, that not all witches are friendly to beings like you."
Miss Carina looked at Shade:
"The outside world thinks highly of her as an 'ordinary person', but what does she say? We are cursed and cannot touch men, so some people say that the Witch Council is an association of handkerchief lovers. Oh, have you heard of this statement?
Shade blinked, not knowing how to answer. Fortunately, Miss Carina was not waiting for his answer:
"Of course this statement is correct, very correct. After all, before you appeared, we had no other choice."
She smiled ambiguously, not knowing what she was thinking of. Shade suddenly thought that if the black-haired maid did not go out, but stood here, maybe there would be a strange blush on her face.
"But Xiwei agrees with this kind of single-choice question with only one option, and thinks that this is the price of power, which is completely correct. She will definitely not be happy if a person of unknown gender who can be touched by a witch appears.
.I can’t guess what she will do to you, but you’d better stay away from her.”
Shade was not surprised by this. It would be strange if every witch was friendly to him.
"I am not a gender-ambiguous person, I am indeed a male."
This still needs to be corrected.
"So Miss Carina, what is the maximum distance between you and me?"
Shade asked again. After all, he must still go to Coldwater Port.
The red-haired witch thought for a while:
"Do you still remember the first time we met? At the Lucky Southern Cross Club, it was my unique ability to sense that you were using spells related to the old gods. And then I let you go to the study room on the top floor, which was separated by a wall.
, I just vaguely noticed something was wrong for the first time, but I confirmed this when I asked Tifa to give you the [Vampire Ring]."
Although Ms. Tifa Servet is not a true witch yet, she is burdened with part of the curse because she has the power of a witch.
"Is that the limit of perceived distance?"
Shade asked again.
"It's almost the same, and it takes a lot of concentration to detect it, but we usually don't concentrate on observing a man. In addition, barriers such as walls will greatly weaken this perception, and the best way is actually for you and other people to
Men stand together. This way, even the great witch will not be able to notice your differences."
She then gave an inappropriate example:
"After all, if a fresh fish is thrown into a pile of smelly fish, people will definitely not be able to find out where the fresh fish is if they don't want to be smelly."
"So as long as I don't get too close to the witches alone, I won't be discovered immediately."
Shade concluded. Seeing him looking very worried, Miss Carina smiled and shook her head:
"Tobesk is my territory, and I will protect you here. Shade, you are one of my most precious collections. Look, I did what the Witch Emperors couldn't do."
After receiving the money, Shade chatted a few more times with Miss Carina about his academic problems, and then ended the visit.
Thinking about the angry cat at home, Shade asked the driver to take a detour on his way back so that he could go to the store and buy a small can of cod liver oil that the cat particularly liked. This was of course very expensive, but it wasn't Xia De.
De paid, it was Miss Gaude who gave the money to provide the cats with a high quality of life, and Sha De just spent them reasonably.
When he got home, he didn't hear Mia running down from the second floor to greet him. When Shade arrived on the second floor, he saw Dorothy sitting on the sofa, looking through the detective files, and she became even cuter after taking a bath.
The orange cat was lying on the dining table, staring at him at the door.
"Your cat is still angry."
The blonde girl said with a smile, thinking this scene was very interesting.
So Shade put down his hat, hung his coat at the door, and came to the restaurant with the bottle of cod liver oil.
Putting the bottle in front of the cat, the lying cat put its head on the table, stretched its neck, squinted its eyes and sniffed with its little nose, then looked up at Shade.
When it looks up from below, its eyes always look particularly big.
"I'll give you cat food mixed with this at night."
Shade said, pointing to the expensive food.
"Meow~"
So Mia, who was still angry just now, jumped up, supporting her two hind paws, and wanted to be hugged by Shade.
"It seems that Carina really gave you a lot of money, Lecia will probably be unhappy."
The female writer in the living room said jokingly.
"I didn't take other people's money for nothing, I got it from the transaction. What's more, the money to buy this thing was given by Miss God."
Shade emphasized, and then issued an invitation:
"If tonight's transaction goes well, I will go into the past at twelve o'clock in the morning to explore Miss Feliana's past. Do you want to see this scene from my place? Although it is only three seconds, I can bring a lot of good results afterwards
s story."
"I don't want to hear about your adventures that make ordinary people crazy."
Dorothy shook her head and refused:
"However, if you get the [Eternal Youth Leaf] this time, remember to let me keep one for you."
She blinked at Shade, who was busy soothing the excited cat:
"I don't have a magic potion that can make me look young again after aging, but at least when I was young, I could take care of myself a little bit."
Although this sentence sounded okay, Shade always felt that she was mocking Miss Carina for being older than them.
